    Any Preppers/Threepers?

    Looks good Co... I built one for my SKD PIG and ready kit. One thing many do not understand until they have wore one, plate carriers are heavy MF things.

    Trixter404's 2011 Nissan Xterra Build & Adventure Thread

    DAM sexy truck man, looks like great times. As for the FEMCO drain valve, they are great. My truck is at the dealer getting that same noise looked at that has plagued the truck since new. They are swapping heads under warranty since that is where they think the noise is coming from now. I just...

    Tembo Tusk Skottle Review

    I would see it hard to be used that way but if you do it let us know. Heat of any sort needs adjustment. Dutchovens on tripods were raised/ lowered as needed. The same dutch oven could have coals added or removed. The skottle would be hard pressed to have any control and with the shallow...

    Any Preppers/Threepers?

    No one around me knows anything other than Im the pissed off Marine down the street that the druggies down the street do not dink with. Other than that, Im just the guy who sits on the front porch drinking whiskey and coke out of a pint and a half mason jar. And I use to be a active member on...

    Any Preppers/Threepers?

    As mentioned, short term food stuffs in basement pantry. If you have pets do not forget them. We have a little pomchi, not a defense dog, but it will get your attention if something is going on, but little dogs equal little poop and little food. My daughter also loves him and he is good for her...

    Any Preppers/Threepers?

    FYI I hope recon above does not store a firearm in that locked case, open cell foam and metal leads to rust, quick fast and in a hurry. Also, OPSEC my friend... photoshop a dog into that corner of the photo or something.

    Any Preppers/Threepers?

    Bergi, your from Happy valley Utah and you only have a bucket of rice? I didn't think that was even possible? Oddly, I was going to post something like this up at thenewX but was worried I would look like a tin foil hat wearing fruitcake, so I never did. But Im a prepper. Currently worried about...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Yup, the Q2 are just the middle LEDs and they are square housings. I like that they came in a combo pattern with 8 spot and 12 flood LEDs. I paid just over $400 each for the Q2's. Lumens are comparable (7500 vs 9300). Its just the mix of both LED types in the same housing that sold me on them. I...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Looks good, Sir. Also like the lights, I was debating between those and the Rigid Q2s. The combo pattern, slight smaller foot print, and the price I paid made the Q2 lights win, but everytime I see those I keep questioning my decision....

    Air Compressor

    I run my CKMTA12 inside the X in the rear, on a little bracket I fabbed, later I can add the manifold to the same bracket. As for noise, with it in the rear the sound in the car is not bad at all, even with it running when airing up tires, its not going to cause hearing damage and does not...

    Mt. Rushmore over Memorial week

    He likes his Rpod, trying to get me to get one, but I would rather have something more offroad-ish, hence the turtleback or similar. For the price they seem great, just be sure to buy one of the hood river ones (higher, offroad tires) etc, and get a stabilizer for it. Prior to his stabilizer...

    Mt. Rushmore over Memorial week

    Just returned from an 8 day trip to Mt Rushmore in South Dakota. Joining our family was our good friends with their 3 boys, their German Shepard in their Acura MSX and R-POD trailer. We sported the Tepui Autana RTT, and the normal loadout for camping. The first night we took a page from the...

    Hammocks

    Why did I not see this earlier??? Prior to owning the X, my outdoor adventures were via my feet packing the crap in. Over the last 20 years I changed ALOT of my kit out, but for the last 8 years, one thing has stayed. The hammock. I started simple enough a Hennessy hammock. But after the first...
